McKay left the Bucs in salary cap hell and was the reason Warren Sapp became a Raider. He then went on to do such a great job with the Falcons that he got kicked upstairs and replaced by Dimitrov.

Lovie Smith is a great defensive coach and McKay is only the BEST GM we have ever had in this franchise. We have a bright future with that DLine core and good running game!!

Mon, 30 Dec 2013 18:37:34 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2234405#comment-3045234maybe the guys don’t want to go back to Tampa,
Houston should have locked up Lovie.

by the way, a guy takes over Penn State for one year and all of sudden he is getting a NFL job.

Cleveland fires a guy from Cleveland, a fan and after one year, because that is a real good job.

Lovie should take the Detroit job, just so he can beat Chicago.

Mon, 30 Dec 2013 18:23:21 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2234405#comment-3045174Several teams will be interested in Lovie. No way he signs on as a defensive coordinator, especially when he was in Tampa with Dungy, no ties to Gruden at all.

Mon, 30 Dec 2013 18:20:19 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2234405#comment-3045161McKay, who was run out of town by Gruden, would rebuild a competent organization like he did the first time around, but I’m afraid that his offensive vision is limited. Pairing him with Lovie Smith might be asking for trouble in a league that’s changed a whole lot since he was picking the players back in the mid 2000s.

Mike Tice? Mike Martz? Lovie plus a guy with a solid offensive track record (like Rob Chudzinski) at OC make a load of sense.

Mon, 30 Dec 2013 17:27:34 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2234405#comment-3044913Ownership isn’t very creative considering they spent so many years letting Dominik derail things, and the only option they have is to try something that worked in the past, because to figure out how to run a football operation is completely beyond their capabilities. Why wouldn’t they hire these guys back? We saw them love Dominik and keep asking for more of him every season, these owners have no clue how to select support personnel. A couple retreads is better than venturing out into the great unknown!

How frustrating to watch this play out. This isn’t a professional sports team, this is a kindergarten social studies experiment.
